Frequently asked questions

Does the iPhone have built-in VPN?

iPhones do not have a built-in VPN, but they support a wide range of VPN apps from the App Store, like NordVPN. While iPhones had a few hiccups with VPNs prior to the release of iOS 8 (such as automatically disconnecting the VPN when the iOS device went into sleep mode), these issues have since been addressed. Nowadays, VPNs for iPhones work seamlessly.

Should I use a VPN on my iPhone?

Yes — your data is valuable, and it’s much easier to spy on you, intercept your communications, and even hijack your connection without a VPN. Since your iPhone doesn’t have a built-in VPN, you need to download a reliable app from the App Store. NordVPN is designed to run perfectly on iOS, protecting your iPhone with powerful encryption, minimizing threats from hackers, and keeping you safe on public Wi-Fi.

What does a VPN do on an iPhone?

A VPN (virtual private network) is an essential iPhone security tool that lets you live your online life in safety and privacy. The best iPhone VPNs will encrypt all of your data traffic and route it through secure remote servers, ensuring that others can’t see what you do. This lets you safely stream, browse, work, and play on your iPhone anywhere — at home, the library, or the airport lounge.

Why don't I see some of the features in my iOS VPN app?

Some NordVPN features are only available when using specific VPN protocols. You can change your VPN configuration in the Settings menu open the NordVPN app, click the cogwheel icon in the top-left corner of the screen, tap VPN connection, and then press Protocol to change your preference. For reference, here are the NordVPN features supported by our VPN protocols:

NordLynx: P2P
IKEv2: Onion Over VPN, P2P
OpenVPN (UDP): Dedicated IP, Double VPN, Obfuscated Servers, Onion Over VPN, P2P
OpenVPN (TCP): Dedicated IP, Double VPN, Obfuscated Servers, Onion Over VPN, P2P

Which free VPN is best for iPhones?

We highly recommend staying away from any free iPhone VPN apps you find on the App Store. Since maintaining a smooth and responsive VPN infrastructure is costly, free VPNs for iPhone often lack the means to protect your privacy, keep you safe, and maintain a decent connection speed. Some free service providers may even resort to selling the data of iPhone users to cover running costs.

Instead of looking for a free iPhone app, look for deals or sales on trustworthy VPN services. For example, you can get a substantial discount on NordVPN with our long-term plans.

Can I use a VPN on an iPad?

Yes, NordVPN is available on all devices running iOS 11.0 or later, including iPad. Here are some popular models that support NordVPN: iPad (generations 5, 6, 7, 8), iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air (all models), iPad Air 2, iPad Mini (generation 5), iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini.

How to use a VPN on an iPhone?

Using NordVPN on your iPhone is easy. Once you’re logged in, simply tap the Quick Connect button to automatically connect to the best available server for you. If you want to connect to a specific location, scroll down and tap on one of the 59 countries from the list.
